Credential Completion & Success
Key Challenges
- Show the public- teachers, students, parents- that we DO care about their success
and are working together to support it.
- We need public campaigns that enforce “high school is not enough” and that post-secondary
completion IS possible.
- Campaigns also need to help de-stigmatize CTE’s/ Apprenticeships as a viable and respectable
post-secondary option.
- Figure out how to make targeted and tiered communication pathways with parents and their students go through K-12.
Short-Term Strategies
- Identify and confirm leadership for this committee.
- Develop a directory of partners.
- Create a group that will develop marketing/branding materials (Chamber with the help
of an advertising agency)
- K-12 must contact legislators and advocate for their needs, i.e. -we need to push the Perkins CTE Bill.
Long-Term Goals
- Develop a common orientation among institutions and community services.
- Shift the paradigm so that college becomes the expectation at an early age.
- Encourage school-based campaigns that show career paths of alumni.
